“Where?”

“In the park.”

“When?”

“At midnight. Tuesday, for the first time, I saw you and your companion.”

“Oh, I had a companion! Do you know her also?”

“I thought just now I recognized her, but I could not be positive, because it was only the figure—she always hid her face, like all who commit crimes.”

“And this person to whom you say I gave a rose?”

“I have never been able to meet him.”

“You do not know him, then?”
